I just bought a trek 6700 and I am really liking it. I liked it so much I suggested it to a friend. He got on ebay and found a 2004 trek 6700 but it is the wsd(women's design). He got the bike for $500, are there any major differences between his and mine, they are both 18". Thanks spencer

Okay... I will have to say that there's really no decent way to cut and paste out of a PDF reliably. Anyways... here's an extracted section that should illustrate what I was getting at.
Code:
model frame size head seat EFF top chain bottom offset wheelbase trail stand over
angle angle tube stay bracket

Thanks for the help. I see the numbers now. I compared the 18 women with 17.5 men. It seemed all to be small differences, but can someone tell if these small differences are likely to make a difference. thanks
